Hi Have you checked the for sale section on here? A 3meter deep awning is going to cost at least £800-£1200 new, we paid £900ish for our one and that was with a trade in. What size is your van?

You wanna try Jeff Bowen awnings, afraid I can't insert the link coz....I'm rubbish!

But his website is just that or simply bowenawnings...nah, think it's more likely his w-h-o-l-e name come to think of it.

We got our new Dorema from him last year and not only was he the cheapest anywhere, (not counting ebay where you're never sure it's going to be a good un and for such a lot of money it's best to go with a pukka supplier), he also sent it within 48 hours! Brilliant.

He does lots of other makes too and also has some 'used' ones advertised which may only have been display models.

Or you could look on the 26site on here, people on here are usually genuine and wouldn't dream of selling you anything duff.

It's a shame you don't need a Dorema size 12 (925-950cm and also 2.5m deep), coz we accidentally bought the...er......wrong size last year and need a size 11 -Oops!

Hi Sandy,

Towsure do a three metre Orion awning in their current catologue, but not on the website that I can find. 835-859cm starts at £310.

WE just bought a Sunncamp Cardinal and although it is only 2.5m wide we are going to get a suncanopy that zipps onto it extending it to 5m. We also have an Annex off the one side and you can have two on either side of the next model up the Prestige.  We paid £275 for the awning, £109 for the annex and have been quoted £180 for the sun canopy, and we have a 16ft van.  Just thinking that you could add to it in stages rater than buying one awning then another.
